Stardust

This is a sweet contemporary romance story about an American scientist who falls in love with a German engineer. It's very short, but it feels complete, with a lot of details about Christmas in Germany. The main characters aren't unique, but the characterizations are good and consistent. Some of the language is a little bit overdone, with a lot of metaphors in the sex scenes. I listened to the audiobook, and it was a great way to spend a few hours and get into the holiday spirit.
